I did a check of the security policy for LAN Manager authentication level, and 
it is not defined (i.e., default) on the RDP server.

We don't have a Gateway (only the one server).

Windows 8 can connect to a 2008R2 server via RDP, there isn't any need to 
update the server.  Plus losing remote control is a pita.

Your issue sounds similar to one I have previously come across.

Not exactly the same I know but have a look at the LAN Man settings just in 
case.

Subject: [NTSysADM] Updating Server 2008R2 RDP to 2012

I've got a 2008R2 server running RDP Services and 20-30 users connecting to it 
with no problems, using Windows RDP through the WatchGuard IpSec VPN client or 
BOVPN. Two of our upper managers went and bought Win8 laptops, and now can't 
connect to the server (the VPN client works). They, naturally, want me to 
update the RDP service on the server so they can. Aside from losing the remote 
control function, are there any other gotchas in applying that update? I'm not 
planning to update the OS, just the RDP service.
